The “psychologically healthy” workplace has received much public attention in recent years. But how exactly can a psychologically healthy workplace be created and maintained? What steps can organizations take, without sacrificing the bottom line, to build a culture that optimizes long-term value for employees, management, and shareholders alike? In this book, top scholars focus on the complex interplay between employee and organizational outcomes across five key intervention areas, including:
• Employee involvement―fostering creativity and autonomy of employees, and encouraging involvement in organizational decision-making);
•Work-life balance―providing employees increased flexibility in when, where and how often they work, as well as assistance in navigating life challenges outside of work;

•Health and safety―promoting healthy behaviors alongside prevention, assessment, and treatment of potential health problems.
